AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 "Jeff Jarrett stated in an interview with wrestlingfigs.com that both a TNA Magazine and Video Game are in development" - This could be good, if EA sports is behind it.... For a TNA videogame they could easily farm it out to some awful no-name development house. Need I remind you about WCW Mayhem and Backstage Assault, too? I guess people are relying on the slim chance that the ex-Aki guys who worked on the Def Jam games would do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 So TNA is now copying the ECW business plan? The difference being TNA isn't being railroaded by their network at every turn and last I checked, the WWE didn't want to air on FSN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 22, 2005 I think Nailz v. Giant Gonzalez Iron Man Submissions would be worse. Their entire offense is choking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Guy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 Gonzalez also used a terrible looking chokeslam. That would the highspot tp set up the next 15 minutes of choking. If they end up with a game and it sounds good, I'll pick it up. I'm not too sure that they should really go this route yet, they don't have the TV to really push outside prejects like a video game and if it fails then they will be branded as such by the VG makers. I think they need to pray that they can get on Spike in prime time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Guy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 Very very very hard, but I think God will be looking soemwhere other than Planet Jarrett when the prayers are made. I hope they get on a real network and are given enough money to put on a how that looks better than WCW World Wide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This trend would have to continue to 2007 for this to even come close to equal a Rodman-like NBA run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2005 It's without question TNA are lucky to be alive. Jerry Jarrett was literally a day away from folding TNA before Panda Energy stepped in. TNA are defying the odds, and more power to them on that front, but you can't survive forever by defying the odds. Sooner or later you have to turn the odds in your favor, and TNA haven't done that, and until they do it's quite right to question how long they can keep going.

They were a company with a lot of money behind them who were BLEEDING money. And, their parent company got sick of losing money and basically shut them down. TNA might want to think about it, because Panda won't be willing to bleed indefinitely. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted March 24, 2005 Can someone explain why people think TNA is suddenly going to appear on Spike TV? Let's be serious here. The big step for TNA is going to be not paying for a timeslot with Fox Sports and getting an extra 30-60 minutes tagged onto Impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would Spike want a show where ads would be hard to sell if it pulled down MUCH higher ratings than it did? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
